Blood and Religion: The Unmasking of the Jewish and Democratic State
By
Jonathan Cook
What is Israel hoping to achieve with its recent withdrawal from Gaza and the buildiing of a 700 km wall? Journalist Jonathan Cook presents a lucid account of the motives. The heart of the issue, he argues, is demography. Israel fears the moment when the region\'s Palestinians--Israel\'s own Palestinian citizens and those in the Occupied Territories--become a majority. Inevitable omparisons with apartheid in South Africa will be drawn. The book charts Israel\'s increasingly desperate responses, including military repression of Palestinian dissent; a ban on marriages between Israel\'s Palestinian population and Palestinians living under occupation to prevent a right of return \"through the back door;\" and the redrawing of the Green Line to create an expanded state. Ultimately, the author concludes, these abuses will lead to a third, far deadlier intifada.
